Having problems with your Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Digital Camera ?

Stuck :( my kodak easyshare DX6440 is stuck. The lens wont retract and whenever i turn it on, the little green light flashes, but then makes a few buzzing noises and turns red. Ive tried new batteries, but it still wont work... what should i do?

Answers :

I concur. The camera will be "beyond economical repair," and the 10% offer does little for customer loyalty.

My Kodak DX6440 did the same thing.\015\012\015\012After sending it to Kodak's third-party repair (as per Kodak), they called to say it was not fix-able.\015\012\015\012Kodak's response was "No parts available" and offered 10% off list price of a refurbished camera.\015\012\015\012...Big sports\015\012...Way to keep customer loyalty\015\012\015\012If you choose Kodak, the cameras are good but buy them knowing they are a disposable item.\015\012\015\012BK

Camera lens The lens itself is making a strange noise and it is having trouble adjusting itself when the camera turns on. When I attempt to turn the camera on all you are able to see is a black screen and there is also a buzzing noise which I assume is the lense trying to adjust itself. The lens is trying to push itself outwards but it is getting stuck. I'm not exactly sure what is wrong with it but I assume that once Iam able to fix the lens I will be able to use the camera normally again.

My camera is in great condition and I'd hate to spend the money to get it fixed. It seems like everything else is working except for the lens...which is a big one! It never reads "ERROR" its just that the lens will not focus. It makes a noise when it is turned on like it is trying to focus. Even when I slightly hold the shutter button it makes a strange noise trying to focus but cannot. Any ideas of what I could do?

The camera turns on, but the lense makes a clicking noise and then the screen says Turn the power off and on again. I have tried this, and also tried resetting it but nothing works. The lense also does not retract, even when the camera is off.

3 beeps One day my camera was working fine. The next day, I tried to turn it on and the lens came out just a little and then it stopped and beeped three times. It now makes this noise everytime that I try to turn it on. It did this before when the lens was uneven. However, the lens appears to be in proper place so I don't understand why it is doing that.

After some attempts to turn on the camera following the instructions posted in this page, i just bang the camera when y press the start button, and the lens was released, and the camera start up with no problem :) ...

Work issues my camera makes 3 beeps then shuts off !!!!!! I tryed to use gentle pressure with the camera face down on a towel covered table and turn on to see if the camera tries to retract the lens. it still wont work!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH SAVE MEEE!!!!!!

Jammed or off the track, try rotating the lens if it rotates out, maybe the middle coller part, or take it apart and see if you can see the fault. No other options, sorry. SO many lens problems with this design, too bad. ...

My K7 will turn on but the LCD screen and monitor won't turn on. The only thing that shows up on the LCD screen is the battery button. When I try to take a picture it makes a funny noise. I didn't drop my camera or anything and it worked perfectly yesterday. The only thing is that I did charge my battery overnight. It still turned on normally earlier in the day but then I didn't take any pictures (as my daughter wouldn't look) so I turned it off until a little bit ago when I turned it on and dis

The problem is\015\0121- some dirt somehow got on the outside of the lense. After it was retracted fully in, it prevents the camera from opening again. When you turn it on, if it opens a little bit, try to pull it out NOT too hard and let go ...

My camera fell on my floor when I was trying to film a video. Now it is stuck with the lens out, and when I try to turn it on it makes a weird noise, stops, makes it again, makes a new 'bloop' powering off noise, and that's it. I can click the little play button in the square to view my pictures and it will make noise and turn on and I can go through my settings but it will not let me switch to actual camera/video mode! What do I do?

My Camera I took a picture, and than shut it off and when i tried turnig it back on; I would press the on button it turns on than makes this weird noise twice like Buzz Buzz and than shuts off, i haven't had this camera for 2 month.
